16 Jul '18

Library Director-Hackley Public Library (Muskegon, MI) Inform-Inspire-Delight! The Board of Trustees of the Hackley Public Library<https://www.hackleylibrary.org/> (Muskegon, MI) is looking to fill the position of Library Director. The Board seeks a Library Director who will inform, inspire and delight its 40,000+ residents through exciting programming, a dedicated staff making a difference, a vital Friends of the Library group, and strong collections - all through a beautiful, historic building (listed on the Michigan Register of Historic Places), in vibrant downtown Muskegon. Governed by a seven-member Board, the Library provides excellent services and programs with 28 staff, and a $1.9 million annual budget. The Library is well supported by its community-approval of a 2014 building bond allowed the Board and staff to identify areas for restoration and repair beginning in 2016. Too, the Library, through its "The Building of Character" fundraising campaign, raised $1.1 million in donations. A key opportunity is implementing the Library's 2016-2020 Strategic Plan<http://www.bradburymiller.com/hackleystratplan.pdf> highlighting the Library's core values: promoting access to knowledge, understanding, and wisdom; overcoming ignorance, intolerance, and indifference; promoting literacy and the free exchange of ideas; and conserving and celebrating its diverse national and local cultural heritage. Muskegon<http://www.muskegon-mi.gov/>, located on the shore of Lake Michigan, is a popular destination. With beautiful beaches, parks and lakes, summer and winter outdoor opportunities include water sports, cross country skiing, biking, and hiking. Muskegon's cost of living as a waterfront destination is one of the lowest in the country with many lifestyle options - from downtown lofts and condos to single-family homes. Downtown Muskegon is experiencing a resurgence in growth and renewal-including a thriving Farmer's Market, the Frauenthal Center for the Performing Arts, the West Michigan Symphony Orchestra as well as the well-regarded Muskegon Museum of Art. A desired destination for young professionals, Muskegon is an attractive, exciting place to live and grow. Both Chicago and Detroit are within a few hours' drive. For more information about the Library, Muskegon, and the area, please see Muskegon Links<http://www.bradburymiller.com/muskegonlinks.htm>. Responsibilities. Under the direction of the Library Board of Trustees, the Library Director develops, administers, supervises, and coordinates the work of the Library and staff, performs managerial duties related to personnel, budget, collection development, building maintenance, and library operations and services in conformity with Michigan State law and under the policies and strategic directions established by the Board of Trustees. Qualifications. Minimum qualifications include a Master's Degree of Library Science from an ALA-accredited program; four years in a post-professional library position; and the ability to obtain and retain Michigan Certification Level 1. Essential attributes and skills include: excellent communication and organizational skills; the ability and desire to plan, develop, and administer the activities of a public library; supervisory experience; a commitment to diversity; and demonstrated ability to establish and maintain effective working relationships with the Board, staff and community stakeholders. Successful experience as a library director reporting to a governing board, proven community engagement activities, and experience with a successful millage campaign are highly desirable. Compensation. The starting salary range is $80,000 - $92,000 (with placement dependent upon experience and qualifications) with an attractive benefits package. For further information contact Bradbury Miller Associates<http://www.bradburymiller.com/> via email or telephone. To start the application process, send a meaningful cover letter and your resume as Word or pdf attachments via email to Jobeth Bradbury<mailto:jobethbradbury@bradburymiller.com> on or before the close date of August 19, 2018.

Call for Papers - Innovative Methods in Health Information Behaviour Research
by Stephen Bajjaly 16 Jul '18

16 Jul '18

Innovative Methods in Health Information Behaviour Research ________________________________________ Special issue call for papers from Aslib Journal of Information Management This special issue, to be published in 2019, is guest edited by Ina Fourie (University of Pretoria, South Africa) and Heidi Julien (University at Buffalo, NY, USA). What is the focus of this special issue? Methods in information behaviour research have remained relatively stable over time. Interviews and questionnaires remain the primary methods used in empirical studies. Although a diversity of diseases, contexts and groups has been covered in information behaviour research for health contexts, understanding of information behaviour can benefit from studies using a range of more innovative methods, including visual methods, methods focusing on embodiment, discursive approaches, and participatory techniques. For this special issue, we invite papers on innovative research methods used in studies of health information behaviour. The emphasis must be on the critical assessment of the method, and its particular value for the group under study, rather than a simple report of findings. Potential methods of interest could include (but are not limited to): * Participatory methods including participatory action research * Visual research methods * Metaphor identification * Methods focusing on embodiment * Discursive research methods, e.g. narratives, traditional storytelling * Autoethnography * Agile research methodology * Meta-analyses, systematic reviews, and content analyses on the use of these methods in health information behavior studies will also be considered. Submissions Papers should focus on any one or more methods appropriate to study health information behaviour, in the context of any disease or user group; the focus should be on the use of innovative research methods. The value of the research methods should be assessed in a critical and analytical manner. Opinion pieces will not be considered for the special issue. Papers should be 4,000 to 9,000 words in length (including references) and in formatted accordance with the journal's author guidelines. About the Journal Aslib Journal of Information Management (AJIM; previously: Aslib Proceedings, ISSN: 2050-3806) is a peer-reviewed international journal providing key insights into the latest international developments in the research and practice of information management and information science. Information about the journal can be found at http://www.emeraldgrouppublishing.com/products/journals/journals.htm?id=AJIM Schedule dates and submission deadlines Paper submission: 30 January, 2019 Notice of review results: 30 March, 2019 Revisions due: 30 April, 2019 Publication: Aslib Journal of Information Management, volume 71, issue 5, 2019 ****************************************************** Heidi Julien, Ph.D. President, Association for Library and Information Science Education Professor & Chair, Department of Library and Information Studies Graduate School of Education, University at Buffalo 526 Baldy Hall, Buffalo, NY 14260 Ph: 716-645-1474 Fax: 716-645-3775 Email: heidijul(a)buffalo.edu<mailto:heidijul@buffalo.edu> ******************************************************

Call for Chapters
by Stephen Bajjaly 16 Jul '18

16 Jul '18

Call for Chapters The Information Literacy Framework: Case Studies of Successful Implementation Chapter proposals are invited to this volume, to be published by Rowman & Littlefield as part of the ALISE Book Series. The book will be edited by Heidi Julien (University at Buffalo), and Melissa Gross and Don Latham (Florida State University). The book's working title is "The Information Literacy Framework: Case Studies of Successful Implementation." It is intended to help demystify how to incorporate ACRL's Framework for Information Literacy for Higher Education into information literacy instruction in higher education as well as how to teach the new Framework to pre-service librarians as part of their professional preparation. The book will bring together: * current case studies from academic librarians who are implementing the Framework for Information Literacy for Higher Education; * current case studies from libraries which are training their staff to implement the Framework; and * current cases from Library and Information Science faculty, who are working to prepare their pre-service students to practice in the new instructional environment. Individual chapters will describe how a library is implementing the Framework, or how the Framework is being taught to pre-service librarians. Chapters will focus on successes, while acknowledging challenges. Authors are expected to be reflective and tie their narratives to existing literature and to theory. Instructional librarians, administrators, educators, and students will benefit from the experiences of the people on the ground who are actively working to make the transition to the Framework in their professional practice. Chapter proposals (approx. 500 words) are due August 1, 2018. Authors will be notified by September 1, 2018 whether their proposal has been selected for expansion to a full chapter. Full chapters will be about 5000 words in length, and will be due March 1, 2019. Send chapter proposals to: Heidi Julien (heidijul(a)buffalo.edu<mailto:heidijul@buffalo.edu>). ****************************************************** Heidi Julien, Ph.D. President, Association for Library and Information Science Education Professor & Chair, Department of Library and Information Studies Graduate School of Education, University at Buffalo 526 Baldy Hall, Buffalo, NY 14260 Ph: 716-645-1474 Fax: 716-645-3775 Email: heidijul(a)buffalo.edu<mailto:heidijul@buffalo.edu> ******************************************************
